Overview¶

The python` plugin extends pulpcore to support hosting python packages. This plugin is a part of the Pulp Project, and assumes some familiarity with the pulpcore documentation.

If you are just getting started, we recommend getting to know the {doc}basic workflows<workflows/index>.

The REST API documentation for pulp_python is available here.

Tech Preview¶

Some additional features are being supplied as a tech preview. There is a possibility that backwards incompatible changes will be introduced for these particular features. For a list of features currently being supplied as tech previews only, see the {doc}tech preview page <tech-preview>.

How to use these docs¶

The documentation here should be considered the primary documentation for managing Python related content. All relevant workflows are covered here, with references to some pulpcore supplemental docs. Users may also find pulpcore’s conceptual docs useful.

This documentation falls into two main categories:

workflows-index shows the major features of the Python plugin, with links to reference docs.

The REST API Docs are automatically generated and provide more detailed information for each minor feature, including all fields and options.
